Chapter 137 Resurrection Game (Part 2)

The elevator was silent and everyone held their breath.

Blocking the elevator door was Qiao Song's six-armed monster, which had already been damaged in many places, and Xiao Ni and the others had long been unable to move.

Without anyone controlling it, the paper beast was just a piece of emotionless paper. The deer did not feel that the creature in front of her was her own kind. She seemed to smell a familiar scent hidden behind the wall made of paper.

"Xiao Cong... Xiao Cong..."

In foggy weather, where it is hard to see clearly, Xiao Cong would definitely run over immediately if he heard the sound.

Lin Qun also held Xiao Cong's hand tightly, fearing that she would make a sound.

The girl in pajamas had spots all over her body. Her skin on the outside was slowly recovering, but it was obvious that she had suffered considerable damage in the fog.

With tears in her eyes, she thought of her aunt who raised her since she was a child and who ran a laundry shop to raise her after her parents passed away.

After taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Cong held back her tears.

She shook her head slightly and typed on her phone: Aunt would never say such a thing.

Her aunt was a very strong-willed middle-aged woman. Among the entire street of laundry shops, her dry cleaning shop had the best business. But in the early years, her aunt was the only one in the shop. Whether it was competition from peers or encountering tough and troublesome customers, her aunt would handle it herself and would never let them interfere.

"Going to school well is what children should do, and the rest is adults' problem."

"If anyone dares to say that you are an orphan, tell your aunt. As for the child, let Lin Qun do the beating because he is young. As for the adult, I will do it because everyone knows that I, Zhang Hongying, am not someone you want to mess with. We cannot let others bully us."

"Travel? Auntie won't go. She has to look after the store. Haohaohao knows that you have graduated and made money, so you and Lin Qun can go, and I will keep my share. The road ahead in life is so difficult, you need to make more preparations, and it's okay to go slowly."

"There is no shortage of adults in the world. You can grow up slowly. Your aunt is walking ahead of you."

Even in the treacherous game world, her aunt would take the initiative to run to the most dangerous game.

She would not lead her niece into the fog with words like "Save me".

Xiao Cong wants to find her, but is not allowed to use other creatures to impersonate her.

Seeing the girl who was about to cry suddenly had a sharp light in her eyes, Lin Qun immediately felt something was wrong and typed frantically with his left hand: Sister Cong, don't get excited! Don't go out now!

Xiao Cong glared at him, wiped her tears after being released, and then took out a small bag from her arms.

Qiao Song looked at what Xiao Cong had stuffed into her hand, which was a bracelet with a few feathers tied to it.

【Dream Catcher·Friends Sharing Online Edition】

[Have you ever dreamed of a great adventure? Sometimes classmates and friends who appear in dreams will make some unexpected and flexible reactions. Is it possible that you are dreaming together in the same dream? ]

[The same dream catcher can share eight rings. The guy wearing the bracelet enters the same dream and stays awake. The duration of the dream is determined by the person with the strongest soul. ]

Lin Qun's eyes widened and he typed:

'Isn't this the A-level item from the blind box mall? '

Xiao Cong nodded: "Can I use it?"

This was obtained by her and Lin Qun together.

Lin Qun: "Sister Cong, use it if you want. What's mine is yours, and she's also my aunt!"

After all, on that street, whenever people talk about children without parents, they will mention him and Xiao Cong.

The aunt was protecting more than just one child; their childhood was supported by the same laundry.

Xiao Cong nodded and continued typing to Qiao Song: "Can you please do me a favor? The reward is any information, any item below level A, or I can do anything for you. I want to borrow your soul power to pull the deer outside into the dream."

Qiao Song had no reason to refuse.

She just needed information about the blind box mall right now. Solving the problem with the sika deer outside might just answer another question of hers.

Xiao Cong took out three dream bracelets in total, and Lin Qun, Xiao Cong and Qiao Song went in.

The boy and girl in the elevator didn't say a word until Qiao Song made a gesture. Then the two little guys rolled their eyes and waved their hands.

Xiao Ni was also gesturing beside him.

"You all go ahead, we'll be watching over the base camp."

Before putting on the bracelet, Xiao Cong could still hear the strange human voices of the sika deer outside through the thin layer of paper.

Unlike the vague babbling before, the voice of that thing was becoming clearer and clearer.

If it weren't for the silhouette on the cardboard in the elevator, everyone would have thought it was a middle-aged woman calling her niece earnestly.

Seeing that Qiao Song and Lin Qun had both put on their bracelets, Xiao Cong took a deep breath and finally made a sound.

"Aunt, are you outside?"

The calls outside suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, a red light shone through the thin cardboard.

Those were the eyes of a sika deer. She was clinging tightly to the cardboard, looking into the elevator.

"Xiao Cong...it's your aunt, don't you want to come out and meet your aunt?"

The sika deer whispered.

There was a thick fog outside, and many of the paper beasts that had attacked them before came nearby. Some of them had been dealt with, while others were still struggling to survive on the ground with their broken limbs.

There was no sign of a simple fog in the village, but the smell of incense in the air was gradually getting stronger.

This is a good thing for players, at least it increases their chances of surviving in the fog.

It also shows that it is not the right thing to do to stay in the metal box for a long time without closing the elevator door.

The voice of a sika deer was as familiar, with bewitching words coming one after another.

The girl took a deep breath, opened the cardboard and rushed out.

The moment Xiao Cong rushed towards the sika deer wearing a strange wreath, the guy with huge antlers on his head suddenly opened his big mouth.

A not-so-obvious line of blood spread from the mouth to the back. In an instant, the mouth split directly from the deer's head to the neck, like a blooming carnivorous plant, trying to wrap Xiao Cong directly in it.

At this time, Qiao Song controlled the paper beast at the door again, picked up a huge feather ring and put it on the back of the deer.

Lin Qun stepped on a gourd from the side and put a ring on each of the two antlers from top to bottom.

Qiao Song’s suggestion was that it would be better to put a few more rings on the deer to avoid failure in entering the dream.

When more than four rings with feathers hung on them caught the sika deer, its big mouth, which was as open as petals, suddenly froze.

bite--

In the blink of an eye, the world has completely changed.

The elevator, the village, the fog, the paper beasts, all disappeared.

This is a very strange world, with colorful cubes floating everywhere. Lin Qun and Xiao Cong are both standing on a white cube, and Qiao Song's is also white.

Qiao Song soon noticed a huge countdown in the sky above his head.

【15:59】

It seems they only have less than 16 minutes of free time.

Xiao Cong immediately pointed to the distance: "Over there!"

In a world full of floating blocks, there are a few dark objects floating around with countless tangled lines on them.

Qiao Song and the others jumped between the blocks against the clock. When they got closer, they found that the black lines were like films, with frames of images appearing on them.

Is this a memory?

Xiao Cong was always watching the countdown in the sky.

"That deer could accurately call out my name, so it must be related to my aunt, but why are there four balls of thread?"

Originally, only one dream catcher would be enough, but Qiao Song suggested that we use a few more just to be on the safe side.

A ring that can pull a soulful creature into a dream.

In other words, all the things she had just put on the sika deer were effective.

There are actually four souls in the body of that sika deer?

roar--

It seemed like there was some monster roaring in the colorful blocks in the distance, and small colorful blocks were constantly being swallowed up.

Xiao Cong looked up nervously at the numbers in the sky.

Qiao Song: "There's no time left. Let's check separately first."

Before coming in, she temporarily asked some information about Aunt Xiao Cong.

Qiao Song stepped on a red jelly and tried to jump towards one of the black balls of thread. The moment he grabbed the whole roll of film, countless memory scenes flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.

This is a bartender who has experienced a total of 6 copies. His skills are mainly control-based. He joined a small guild of a friend. He has not been in the game for a long time, but he cooperated well with his friends until he accidentally entered Zootopia and participated in a carnival.

This is a male player.

After realizing that the target was wrong, Qiao Song also collected some information.

She quickly withdrew her thoughts to avoid being too immersed in other people's memories, otherwise there would not be enough time.

And in just this brief moment, when she looked up, the numbers in the sky had shortened to the final five minutes.

So fast——

Just as Qiao Song was about to leave the black tape, he suddenly felt his hands being entangled.

Suddenly, a shadow of a little rabbit appeared in the dark sphere. The rabbit's eyes were red and it seemed like it was about to cry.

“Save me…”

A soft electronic sound rang out, and Qiao Song's hand, which was hovering on the edge, had just approached the rabbit when he noticed the rabbit's mouth about to open.

She slapped the rabbit in the face, causing his front teeth to become crooked, and then quickly grabbed a card from the pile of black tape.

Xiao Cong and Lin Qun over there also finished checking the two memory fragments.

Unlike Qiao Song, they also needed to obtain intelligence. After finding out that he was not the target person, they immediately withdrew their thoughts. Now there is only one last one left.

Just as Xiao Cong jumped up on the jelly floating in the air, the roar of the monster in the space suddenly intensified.

In the distance, you can see a pitch-black creature struggling to devour the jelly suspended in the air.

That was the deer that had tried to eat him in the outside world before.

When Lin Qun saw Xiao Cong start to cry after grabbing the last piece of tape, he knew that he had found the right one this time.

He immediately summoned his gourd and wanted to attack the deer, but the gourd in the dream world had just appeared when it instantly turned into several colorful jelly cubes floating around.

"Damn, can't I use my ability? How can I fight like this!"

Lin Qun was still trying to take out the prop card, but Qiao Song had already started picking up the colorful jellies around him: "Just use this to smash it. In the dream world, prop cards and player skills may not be able to be used directly."

Perhaps thinking of her own experience of beating a rabbit with her hands, she added, "If necessary, beating it directly with your hands may have a better effect."

Xiao Cong was behind them, racing against time to check the memory in the last piece of tape, and at this moment, in the distance of the colored square, the huge monster finally appeared.

That can no longer be called a sika deer.

The creature was covered with strange fleshy lumps, but its head still looked like a sika deer, with only two bloody holes left for its eyes.

From time to time, cracks appeared on the flesh around his body, and round eyes grew out of them.

"This is not the place for you to come."

The voice sounded extremely strange. It was no longer the voice of the middle-aged woman that Lin Qun was familiar with, but a sticky and incomprehensible voice composed of multiple voices.

"Since you want to watch it so much, then stay here forever. Empty your skin and leave your soul to queue up with us... and experience the pain of losing the game together..."

The creature howled, then its entire mouth opened and began to frantically devour the colorful cubes around it.

Qiao Song immediately felt something was wrong: "Lin Qun, go call Xiao Cong! Leave before the time is up!"

Those colorful blocks were the only things they could step on.

This world now seems like a dream world. What will happen if you are eaten by a monster here?

It's probably similar to being eaten in real life, otherwise the other party will have an expression that says "Since you dare to come, I must drag you down with me."

The countdown in the sky gradually accelerated as the colorful cubes were swallowed up.

Qiao Song will still smash out a few colored blocks to interfere with the monsters' approach.

Gradually, she suddenly felt itchy and remembered that she had used an electric saw to cut off the small cluster of dream tentacles.

With the help of Lin Qun, Xiao Cong finally responded: "OK!!!"

Lin Qun roared, which made the monster in the distance a little crazy.

It opened its mouth and a man's deep voice came out.

At the same time, Xiao Cong was grabbing something in the black tape with one hand and pulling it out desperately.

In the black tape ball, there was a little bird with wounds all over its body, helping her.

"How dare you? It's my turn already. If I eat one person, I will be the next one to be eliminated!"

The monster roared and expanded several times in an instant. Qiao Song quickly summoned his toolbox. Unlike the gourd, that thing did not disintegrate into jelly immediately, but lasted for two or three seconds.

Taking advantage of this time, Qiao Song took out a big hammer and swung it far away.

There was a thud, and it sounded very painful.

The hammer only disintegrated into jelly after it left the opponent's forehead.

Qiao Song bought himself about 10 seconds, retreated decisively, took out the electric saw, turned it on, and directly cut off the antlers of the sika deer.

“Tear off the feathers!!!”

Xiao Cong shouted, and in an instant, the three of them left this virtual space.

The moment he returned to reality, Qiao Song controlled the six-armed paper beast, hugged the deer, and ran away.

Xiao Cong's face was covered with tears as she hugged a white package tightly in her arms.

Lin Qun pulled her, who was in a daze, and rushed back desperately.

The thick fog in the village rolled up, as if it wanted to actively kill the virus and rushed straight towards them.

Outside the elevator, with a bang, the paper deer beast suddenly exploded. Fortunately, it was held in the arms of Qiao Song's paper beast, blocking most of the power of the explosion.

After the loud noise, the ground was in a mess, but what was scattered was not the internal organs of animals, but something that Qiao Song had seen a long time ago.

That was something she had once worked with the fish killer Jiang Yi and Xiao Wang to dig out from the belly of a giant paper beast that came from outside the village.

Several large white cocoons.

Xiao Cong was holding one of them.

She took out a few familiar items from the white bag.

A family photo. I was still very young in the photo. There were my parents and my aunt when she was young. My aunt was looking at the little Cong in the cradle with a smile and holding her finger.

And a laundry room work uniform.

A metal badge with a picture of a cuckoo bird.

Plus, she had previously obtained the laundry business card from the deer's head.

Only these things remain in my aunt's soul.

"I saw my aunt's memory, where she lost a game in Zootopia."

The last relic, along with a little bit of soul power, was stuffed into the paper beast's stomach.

The deer was not her aunt, but the most powerful of the other souls that were stuffed into the stomach.

In one word, the deer did not lie to her.

"My aunt was in the resurrection game, and her soul entered the vending machine."

Taking advantage of the opportunity of just falling asleep, I successfully peeked into the small cluster of memories on the tape and wiped the tears from my face.

Lin Qun knew what she was going to say.

"I'm going to the Blind Box Mall, where there are the most soul vending machines in the entire Infinite Highway."

She wants to redeem her aunt's soul.

Qiao Song chewed over the conversation between the two and, combining it with the butcher's role before, felt that this resurrection game should be divided into several stages.

They had seen the paper beasts outside the village before they entered the dungeon. They had been wandering in the fog of the game for a long time before they reached this village.

There are several large cocoons in the belly of a paper beast, which means there are several different souls.

Only the most powerful one can control the main body.

Combined with the butcher character that appeared before, can we infer that after completing the task in the paper beast state, the person with the highest priority in the queue can become a separate individual, complete the final task and then be resurrected?

But there is still a key piece of evidence missing. We have to see if any paper beast can really complete the task and turn back into a human.

Qiao Song knocked on the metal wall of the elevator, interrupting Lin Qun and Xiao Cong.

"We'll talk about this later. Pay attention outside."

Because of the commotion just now, more dark shadows came over in the thick fog.
